What I Want {And Who I Want To Be} [a Blair Waldorf fanmix]
Full album art, tracklistings, and download links under the cut.
After henriettayuki showed me the first season of Gossip Girl last year I remember saying “It’s a really fun show, but I don’t think I’d ever make a mix for it or anything.” Well, here I am proving myself wrong.
Merry Christmas henriettayuki! This mix was absolutely tailored made just for you. It covers Blair’s journey through the first two seasons of the show, it is consists of mainly upbeat music (with some downers here and there, but you know me…) but I really did try to keep this upbeat! Heck, it ever has an ABBA track on it just cause I know how much you love them, haha!
I hope you enjoy the mix!

What I Want [And Who I Want To Be]
a Blair Waldorf fanmix
1. Lily Allen - The Fear
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
'Cause I'm killing 'em all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint, but I'm not a sinner
Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
2. Sia - Academia
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I'm sitting here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt
3. Lotte Kestner - Fake Empire
Tiptoe through our shiny city
With our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice, bluebirds on our shoulders
We're half awake in a fake empire
4. Audrey Hepburn - Moon River
Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me
5. Kate Nash - Dickhead
Cos my brain and my bones
Don't want to take this anymore
Why you being a dickhead for?
Stop being a dickhead
6. ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
7. Sliimy - Womanizer
Boy, don't try to front
I know just what you are
You got me goin'
You're oh so charmin'
But I can do it, womanizer
8. The Pipettes - Because It's Not Love (But It's Still A Feeling)
Because it's not love
But it's still a feeling
No, it's not love
But my body's reeling
To move closer next to you
9. The Ditty Bop - Unfortunate Few
Bubbling thoughts I’ve been thinking a lot
But I don’t write them down with a smile
More of a frown as I’m looking down
10. The Good Natured - Skeleton
Never speak of this
Keep this firmly placed in-between your lips
But I'm standing naked
Hot, for you when I'm taking
It all off for you
11. The Like - Catch Me If You Can
I won, now that I've got the prize, I've lost the plot
I'm done, now that the fight is gone, we've lost the fun
It started with fire, now we're just cinders
Covered in ash and burning out fingers
Trying to hold on, but I'm just falling faster
I promise, I don't hate you
But I don't love you at all
12. Amy MacDonald - Love Love
And at night I sit and cry it seems
Wondering why love is not like my dreams
Wondering why I am still here all alone
And at night I wish that you were there
Touching my face and stroking my hair
Telling me things, telling me stories
Telling me you love me in all my glory
13. Nicole Atkins - You Were The Devil
Lay down your love, he commanded
And with those words I sealed the fate that was mine
Dark magic in your eyes
In dangerous ways you came and swayed a change in me
14. Tilly and the Wall - Pot Kettle Black
Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Talk that, talk that smack
Pot kettle, pot kettle black
Watch your, watch your back
15. Alex Winston - Everlasting Light
Let me be your everlasting light
I'll hold and never scold
In me you can confide
When no one's by your side
Let me be your everlasting light
16. Ida Maria - Bad Karma
You better believe in voodoo babe
I got a long list of your sins
There's a word you may have heard of
Called payback and I'm runnin' out of pins
17. The Bird And The Bee - You’re A Cad
What’s the point pretending that you could be a better man
Just give in, since you always end up right back where you began
Still I know the truth, but I have a sweet tooth for
A cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheat
All the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat
You’re a rascal and a rove, a villain and a crook
Still I tug at your line, I’m a fish on your hook
18. The Like - Wishing He Was Dead
'Cause I just can't forgive and forget
So when I'm through with him
He will be wishing he was dead
19. Kate Nash - Nicest Thing
I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep
20. The Pipettes - Dirty Mind
She was surprised to find
Something of an anomaly
You see this perfect boy
Wasn't quite so pristine
He had ideas that would
Make the devil scream
21. Marina & The Diamonds - Oh No!
I know exactly what I want and who I want to be
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no
One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the worst
So I always act like I'm the best
22. Doris Day - Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps
You won't admit you love me
And so how am I ever to know?
You only tell me
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
A million times I've asked you
And then I ask you over again
You only answer
Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps
23. The Pierces - Ruin
I do not want
For you to be happy
All that I want
Is for you to come crawling back
24. Anna Ternheim - Terrified
You see me, like no one, saw me before
And this part terrifies me so
No one makes me free like you make me
I speak my mind, I'm honest and I'm cruel
25. Lykke Li - Window Blues
I sleep with windows open
I sleep with eyes wide
In case you would come walking
In case you change your mind
26. Juliana Daily - White Blank Page
Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love
As well as your folly
27. Ellie Goulding - Salt Skin
You're as sharp as a knife
And you fit like a glove
That is no way to live
That is no way to love
28. Jenny Owen Youngs - Fuck Was I
Love grows in me like a tumor
Parasite bent on devouring its host
I'm developing my sense of humor
‘Til I can laugh at my heart between your teeth
‘Til I can laugh at my face beneath your feet
Skillet on the stove, it's such a temptation
Maybe I'll be the lucky one that doesn't get burnt
What the fuck was I thinking?
29. Priscilla Ahn - Lost Cause
I'm a sinner, I ain't a saint
I should pray as much as I complain
Oh, it's all just a lost cause
If you knew me when I was eight
I was the queen of Labor Day parades
Oh, it's all just a lost cause
30. The School - I Want You Back
Once upon a time
I thought everything would turn out fine
Just like lines in books
31. Ellie Goulding - Fly
And I go in and sit with them
Make them laugh and be normal
For an hour and a half
Of someone's time but not mine
'Cause I just fly, fly, fly
32. Lenka - Trouble Is A Friend
Trouble is a friend, but trouble is a foe
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow
He sees what I see and he knows what I know
So don't forget as you ease on down the road
He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine
So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine
33. A Fine Frenzy - Happier
Quick kid quips, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken cold and clinical
Such a transformation to behold
I don't like this new, I like the old
It's not the words that make it final
You've said such things before to rival them
But it's how you say them now that's changed
Cold but sympathetic all the same
You'd like to convince me that I'll be better off
34. Florence + the Machine - Shake It Out
I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
35. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Hysteric
No longer, no longer
What you ask
Strange steps
Heels turn black
The cinders, the cinders
They light the path
And these strange steps
Take us back, take us back
Flow sweetly, hang heavy
You suddenly complete me
